Support at home

and the community

At Burnie Brae, care and connection are central to our mission. We're dedicated to offering the support you need to thrive in the comfort of your own home, even when faced with health challenges. We provide a range of care services tailored to your needs, with the level of services depending on your funding levels.

What is Support at Home?

Support at Home is the Australian Government’s upcoming aged care reform, designed to replace the current Home Care Packages system. It’s now scheduled to begin on 1 November 2025 (delayed from the original 1 July start) along with aged care reforms.

The goal is to make aged care services simpler, more flexible and more aligned with your needs - helping you stay safe, comfortable and independent at home for longer.
